I see lots of people recommend the Srixon Q-Star Tours. 
Has anyone not had good experiences with them or been disappointed? Just looking for input on this ball in particular.  I’m curious to hear the good and bad reports on this ball.

MGS ball test gave it a "fair" rating:

I like the ball, and think that it's a good match for it's intended audience. Will a ProV1 guy like it? Probably not.

It's a fine ball. I found one a few weeks ago and gave it a whirl. No worse or better than other similar branded balls. Feels a bit on the mushy side for my taste but you might like it for that reason based on your like/dislike. Price not bad I think.

Spend $10/doz. more and get the Titleist Pro V1 practice balls.  They don't have performance issues, and they conform to the rules.  I use them all the time for at-home practice.

Not my favorite  ball. It is okay it just does not work for me. Don't like the feel off the driver and putter. Plus it is shorter than my Callaway Super Soft ball.

I play this ball currently.  It is reasonably priced (full price being $26.99/dz, but I've got them often for $24.99 and even down to $19.99/dz).  This is a good deal for a urethane covered ball.  It plays well in the wind (which is huge for me in Texas) and has a good feel while putting.  I haven't tried the Srixon Z Star but for my handicap (10 ish), I haven't found any deficiency in this Q Star Tour ball.  Note that the 'Q Star' (not Tour) is an ionomer covered ball, much cheaper, and does not compare to the Tour ball.  Hope that helps.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
